A Seltzer is a relatively new drink to hit the Australian beverage market, if you're young then you may already know all about the variety of Seltzers on the market, from Hard Fizz to Saintly. But if you've been sticking to your tried and trusted beer, wine and spirits then you may be wondering... what is a Seltzer? So we've put together this helpful guide on what Seltzers are, where you can get them, and how you can turn up to your next party with an iKegger of Seltzer rather than a bag full of cans.
If you're wondering what a seltzer drink is, then we are here to tell you... it's essentially fizzy water. So now, what is a Hard Seltzer? Well, it's fizzy water with a bit of alcohol and flavouring. Why is the world going crazy for hard seltzer - well it's practically a healthy tasty alcoholic drink. What's not to like?
Hard Seltzers are lower in carbs and sugar too, making them more appealing than RTD's, wine and beer. Perfect for enjoying summer arvos at the beach, festivals or just with friends at home. And less of a sugary hangover the next day. Obviously, we encourage enjoying responsibly.
Another benefit of seltzers is that the majority of them are gluten-free, so with many people wanting to steer clear of gluten they are a tasty and healthy option when choosing an alcoholic beverage to enjoy.
So now that you've learnt that a Seltzer is just carbonated water, using carbon dioxide it's time to find out who are the epic local Seltzer brands in Australia.
Good question and we all want to know! Lots of beer brands have jumped straight into this billion-dollar industry, Corona, Bud Light, but we are loving the local brands that are absolutely rocking it. Check out this list below of some of the best Seltzers in Australia:
Great question. iKegger can help in two ways! Firstly, instead of carting a bag full of bottles or cans to a party you can fill up a keg and be the life of the party.
We recommend an insulated keg that will keep your beverages cold for up to 10 hours, but you can build your own keg system to suit your needs.
Secondly, you can make your own hard seltzers for a fraction of the price. Read on...
To make a hard/alcoholic seltzer you need to start by creating sugar water using boiled water and corn sugar. It needs to be boiled for about 10 minutes and once cooled this goes into your fermentation vessel and now pitch your yeast.
Wait a week (give or take a day or so), while the yeast does what it needs to do and turns your sugar water into alcohol.
Once fermentation is finished, you can keg your seltzer ready to enjoy.
